For professionals seeking pristine vocal clarity and superior feedback rejection in live performance and studio settings, the Lewitt MTP 840 DM Dynamic Supercardioid Vocal Microphone offers a compelling solution. Designed to capture vocals with exceptional precision while minimizing background noise, this microphone ensures your voice cuts through any mix with remarkable presence and detail. Whether you are a touring musician, a podcaster, or a recording engineer, the MTP 840 DM is engineered to elevate your sound quality and reliability on every stage and session.

One of the most critical challenges in vocal recording and amplification is isolating the desired sound source from ambient noise and stage bleed. The Lewitt MTP 840 DM addresses this with its supercardioid polar pattern, which focuses on sound directly in front of the microphone while significantly reducing pickup from the sides and rear. This means less unwanted noise and feedback, allowing for clearer vocals even in loud environments. The dynamic, moving coil design is ideal for handling high sound pressure levels without distortion, making it well-suited for powerful vocal performances.

The MTP 840 DM’s sensitivity of 3.5 mV/Pa (-49 dBV/Pa) ensures that your voice is captured with a balanced output level that works seamlessly with most professional audio equipment. Coupled with a signal-to-noise ratio of 75 dB (A-weighted) and a low self-noise of just 19 dB (A-weighted), this microphone delivers a clean and natural sound, free from excessive hiss or background interference. This clarity is essential for achieving professional-grade recordings and live sound reinforcement where vocal intelligibility is paramount.

To offer even greater versatility, the microphone includes three switchable gain settings (0 dB, 6 dB, and 12 dB) in its active mode, allowing users to tailor the output level to suit different vocal styles and environments. Additionally, the built-in linear low-cut filter with selectable frequencies at 150 Hz and 250 Hz effectively reduces low-frequency rumble and handling noise, ensuring that the vocal signal remains focused and free from unwanted bass buildup. This feature is particularly valuable for live sound engineers who need to manage stage noise and microphone handling sounds dynamically.

Physically, the MTP 840 DM is thoughtfully designed for comfort and durability. With dimensions of 51 mm in diameter and 183 mm in length (approximately 2 x 7.2 inches) and a lightweight construction at just 336 grams (11.85 ounces), it fits comfortably in the hand for extended use without fatigue. The microphone’s gold-plated 3-pin XLR connector guarantees a stable and corrosion-resistant connection, ensuring consistent signal transmission during performances. The microphone operates on standard 48 V phantom power, drawing a modest 5.5 mA of current, making it compatible with a wide range of professional audio interfaces and mixers.

This microphone excels in various practical applications, from live singing and spoken word performances to podcasting and broadcast work.
